A Conservation with Vernon

What has been your most notable experience?

In February 1996, I was deployed in Bosnia with the U.S. Army, keeping supply routes clear as a military policeman. On routine patrol, I was called to the scene of an accident involving three military vehicles with several seriously wounded soldiers. Not knowing whether the fields were laced with mines and the roads were covered in black ice, my team had to act quickly to secure a clearing for the Medivac to land. Thirty minutes later, the helicopter landed safely and transported the wounded soldiers to the Army hospital.

Why did you choose to attend A&M-Commerce?

I wanted to take my career to the next level when a coworker told me about the online MBA program at A&M-Commerce. After some research, I found that the program was exactly what I was looking for with a challenging yet rewarding course load.

How has your military experience benefited your experience at A&M-Commerce?

The army taught me dedication, discipline and focus. My MBA from A&M-Commerce took those skills to the next level so I could succeed as a civilian.

What is your current position and company?

I still serve my country; I am employed by the Defense Contract Audit Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. I am a technical specialist as a direct result of obtaining my MBA from A&M-Commerce.

What would you tell a student who is thinking about pursuing an MBA from A&M-Commerce?

The MBA program is second to none. Everyone at A&M-Commerce should be proud of this program and the opportunities it offers to students. I know I am.
